An elevated version of a classic plaid design; this wrap is knit using stranded colorwork in two colors of worsted weight yarn. The wrap is then embellished with fringe and french knot embroidery. The completed wrap is set off with an antique-style cabled belt and fabric backing, to create the perfect fall or winter accessory.
